Structure

9

• The International Maritime Organization (IMO) is the United Nations (UN) system’s regulatory agency for the maritime sector

• Global mandate is "safe, secure, environmentally sound, efficient and sustainable shipping through cooperation”

• Pursues that mandate by adopting international maritime rules and standards that are then implemented and enforced by Governments in the exercise of flag, port and coastal State responsibilities

• IMO’s rules and standards are accepted by Governments and the global shipping industry because they provide a single, universal framework governing maritime operations and ensure the efficient, safe and environmentally friendly carriage of global trade

ITCP – Rationale & Mandate

10

• Many developing countries cannot yet give full and complete effect to IMO’s instruments

• Established an Integrated Technical Cooperation Programme (ITCP)

• By fostering capacity-building in the maritime sector, the ITCP helps countries to ensure safe, secure and effective shipping services and protect their waters and coasts from the environmental degradation caused by ships and other maritime-related activities

• IMO’s technical cooperation programme contributes, therefore, to sustainable socio-economic development

ITCP – Rationale & Mandate

11

• Ownership of the project development and implementation process rests with the recipient countries themselves

• IMO’s regulatory priorities are systematically integrated into the programme-building process

• The ITCP promotes the development of human and institutional resources in the maritime sector, on a sustainable basis, including the advancement of women

• The ITCP promotes regional collaboration and technical cooperation among developing countries

• IMO builds partnerships with Governments, industry and international development aid agencies to ensure appropriate funding for the ITCP

ITCP – Vision & Strategy (Key Principles)

12

• IMO also seeks to mobilize regional expertise and resources for its technical assistance activities http://roster.imo.org/Welcome.aspx

• IMO ensures, through monitoring systems and impact assessment exercises, that programme targets are met and that lessons learned are transferred back to the programme-building process

• Every two years, the Organization revises the ITCP, which contains global and regional programmes covering:

• Africa• Arab States and Mediterranean• Asia and Pacific Islands• Commonwealth of Independent States and Eastern Europe and • Latin America and Caribbean

ITCP – Vision & Strategy (Key Principles)

13

• IMO’s technical cooperation activities are conceived and developed through partnerships for progress between recipient countries, resource-providers and the Organization

• The Organization has also been successful in developing bilateral partnerships with Governments, international organizations and regional institutions for its technical cooperation activities. As at 31 December 2014, IMO had 75 partnership arrangements in operation.

ITCP – Development

14

• IMO secures financial, human and logistical support for its technical assistance activities from a wide variety of sources, including:

• IMO’s Technical Cooperation (TC) Fund;

• multi-donor Trust Funds (MDTFs);

• bilateral arrangements; and

• one-off cash donations.

ITCP – Funding

15

• IMO’s technical assistance activities, such as needs assessment/advisory missions, national/regional seminars/workshops and long-term training courses, are delivered mostly through the Secretariat and through regional outreach mechanisms, such as:

• IMO’s regional presence in the field, in Africa, Asia and the Caribbean, which provides advice to developing countries and executes technical co-operation activities; and

• regional institutions and networks that, in partnership with IMO, coordinate and manage regional technical assistance programmes.
